Myleah asked Lori Foster:

Do writers have to have agents to get published?

Lori Foster The industry has changed so much, I'm not really up on the process for getting published anymore. Waaaaay back when, 1996 or so when I finally sold, an agent wasn't necessary. In fact, it was almost impossible to find a good agent until after you'd sold. But honestly, that could be different now. What *I* do, and what a new author would do, is vastly different.

You can always look up querying criteria for various publishers. Some will specify agented material only. Some may say requested material only.
"Requested" could mean that you've met an editor at a conference, pitched your idea, and she was interested enough to ask you to send it to her.

For anyone looking to write romance, I very strongly recommend RWA - Romance Writers of America. Far more so than I do, they keep up with industry changes. www.RWA.org
Best of luck to you - and sorry I couldn't be of more help.
